I've got a pretty old freebsd install based on, I think, release 3.2. I want to upgrade it to 4.4. I've tried cvsup'ing the source for both 3.5.1 and 4.4 but I can't run make buildworld (errors about strlcpy). So I want to try a binary upgrade. All the stuff I see about binary packages are ports, which I understand do not include the base system. Under ftp.freebsd.org/pub/releases/4.4-release there is a directory for packages -- under which lots of categories directory (games, crypto, etc) -- what stuff do I need for the base system, or is this only programs on top of the base (I need to get the new libraries and all that jazz first and at the same time, right?) -- after I get the base system packages and then just run pkg_add * in my download directory?
